(A) 43 (B) 44 (C) 49 (D) 50 (E) 51 Obviously club could not have 50 or more members, since$12*50=$600>$599. What about 49? If 48 members contributes $12 ($12*48=$576) and 1 member contributed the remaining$23, then the club would have is 48+1=49.

OR: 12x\leq{$599} --> x\leq{49\frac{11}{12}} --> x=49 (since x must be an integer). Answer: C. _________________ Re: A club collected exactly$599 from its members. If each   [#permalink] 26 Sep 2012, 11:17
